On April 6 Sarnia police raided a home. Spinks and Wilson were in the basement where there were two one-grams bags of cocaine on a table. A digital scale was nearby.

In an upstairs bedroom police arrested a man who was charged with possession for trafficking of an array of drugs including fentanyl, two other painkillers, methamphetamine and marijuana. That man’s case is still before the courts.

In seeking a $1,000 fine for Spinks and Wilson federal prosecutor Michael Robb said he was not relying on criminal records for either person.

The fines were a joint submission by Crown and defence lawyers. A year’s probation was also imposed on each person when they must stay away from drugs and drug paraphernalia along with taking any counseling recommended by their probation officers.

The financial penalty for each was increased to $1,300 due to imposition of victim surcharges.
